Ingredients

  • 8 pieces cocktail rye bread
  • 1 package (8 wedges) The Laughing Cow cheese
  • 2 teaspoons stone ground mustard
  • 4 slices corned beef
  • 4 teaspoons sauerkraut


Instructions

  1. Spread Cheese: Spread 1 wedge of The Laughing Cow cheese evenly on each piece of cocktail rye bread to create a creamy base layer for the toppings.
  2. Add Mustard: Carefully top each piece of bread with 1/4 teaspoon of stone ground mustard to add a tangy kick and complement the cheese.
  3. Prepare Corned Beef: Roll each slice of corned beef tightly and cut in half, then place 1/2 slice on top of the mustard layer on each bread piece.
  4. Top with Sauerkraut: Add 1/2 teaspoon of sauerkraut atop the corned beef on each bite to bring the classic Reuben’s signature tangy flavor and crunch.
  5. Serve: Serve the assembled Mini Reuben Bites immediately for the freshest taste and optimal texture. Enjoy as a perfect party appetizer.

Notes

  • For best flavor, use fresh rye cocktail bread and high-quality corned beef.
  • You can substitute sauerkraut with pickled cabbage if preferred.
  • These bites are best served fresh and not stored for long periods as the bread may become soggy.
  • To make these gluten-free, substitute cocktail rye bread with gluten-free bread slices.
  • Can be easily doubled or tripled for larger gatherings.
